These heartbreaking pictures show a couple holding hands as they said their final goodbye to each other in intensive care. Jim Minnini (pictured in hospital, holding hands with his wife center and with her left), 58, was in hospital with terminal lung cancer on May 4 when he made a desperate plea to see his wife, Cindy, one more time. Cindy - who was recovering from a heart attack she suffered after Jim was hospitalized - was in the next room after doctors transferred her to Kingston General Hospital, in Ontario, so she could be with her dying husband. She was sedated and was not conscious when her partner of 24 years was taken into her room, and she did not know he had been with her until after she woke up - but by then her husband had died. The touching photographs of the couple holding hands were shared by their son, Chris, who said his father was not prepared to die without saying goodbye to the love of his life.
